Set foreground window to foreground when external tool used as a diff/merge

Windows Vista/7 (with UAC on?) prevents windows from "popping up" more
strictly than it was in XP
SO, there here is a problem: when you try to see a difference from the
previous version, the diff/merge tool's window is opened BEHIND the
tortoise's window. This seem to be extremely inconvenient.

To fix this, tortoise shall allow "child" diff/merge tool to set
foreground window. There is a function that does exactly this thing -
AllowSetForegroundWindow.
I think it would be good enough to just call that function with child
process id.

Please see the patch attached (single line added - that call to
AllowSetForegroundWindow).
Works for me.

Kind regards, Nikolay.
